Here is an earlier ruling regarding Pokémon Ranger and 'enhanced' Poison. Special Conditions, even if they are 'enhanced' by something are game mechanics and not effects of attacks. Pokemon Ranger does not interact with them. An example of an effect of an attack would be the one created by...

Shining Genesect looks like a solid single prize attacker in Lurantis and possibly Vikavolt decks. The Ability and attack are reminiscent of Flareon-EX, a card that saw some competitive play but Volcanion now has better partners. With the Lurantis promo and Choice Band, it's possible to hit...

There is no minimum age requirement for Juniors. Currently it specifies that Juniors are born in 2006 or later. If an infant was able to play the game then they would be considered a Junior. IT should be noted that a basic reading ability is required in order to play, but animals have been...

This reminds me of the scene in Pokémon: The First Movie where Mewtwo claims he is the world's greatest Pokémon trainer. Ash and the other humans in the room dispute this, claiming a Pokémon can't be a trainer. Mewtwo then proceeds to kick their butts with his cloned Pokémon. While that's a...

If you like the concept of Legacy, then yes. As there is no equivalent to Legacy in the physical card game, it is generally accepted to be a 'for fun' format, though there are no shortage of competitive decks. Many PTCGO players, myself included use the program primarily as a means to test...

Divide-GX places damage counters. It does not do damage. While the end result is the same, it is a different mechanic. Placement of damage counters does not interact with effects that prevent, add or reduce damage, or check if any damage had been dealt. A Pokemon that is Knocked Out by placing...

Choice Band does have some issues, but I feel it's a healthy card for the format. The game is kind of an awkward state right now, as many of the strongest decks have focused on Basic Pokemon as the main attackers, with any Stage 1 and 2 decks appearing largely as counters to those. This goes...

Round 2 : My Little Keldeo vs @Dadoum My Little Keldeo beat Dadoum 2-0. Good game and good luck in the rest of the event!

Marshadow-GX really isn't necessary. It's also only able to use the attacks of Basic Pokemon with its Ability, so it can't even copy Gardevoir-GX's attack. Zoroark really isn't a threat due to Gardevoir-GX's Dark resistance. Even Zoroark BREAK won't be one-shotting a Gardevoir with Mind Jack...

The decklist I've been fiddling around with uses Gallade BKT. It's part of the same evolution line, meaning it's easy to get out and running a single copy really won't hurt your consistency, and uses Double Colorless Energy, which Gardevoir already runs. With a bulky 150 HP and a solid attack...

Due to my opponent, @Christian Ellingstad not being online at our scheduled time and his unresponsiveness to my messages, I am going to claim the win for this round.

Bisharp STS is the closest thing in this format to match that description. However it will one-shot both Alolan Ninetales-GX and the upcoming Gardevoir-GX with a Choice Band and one Energy, so it could become a useful tech in many decks. There's also the Jirachi XY promo, but Stardust doesn't...

Cards that are no longer in format which have received only text changes and/ or minor errata may be used in sanctioned play. The Pokemon from Evolutions have altered and / or completely different attacks and Abilities from their Base Set counterparts, despite using the same artwork, and are...

Can you please provide a link to this information? I am looking over Pokemon.com and haven't found anything in regard to the 2018 format.

Pros of Vikavolt: Pulls Energy directly from the deck, instead of relying on getting it into the discard first. Practically guarantees you will be able to use Nature's Judgement every turn, as long as you are able to Strong Charge Vikavolt can be a powerful single-Prize attacker in a pinch...

We can't give an official ruling until the card has been released in English. Exact wording is crucial to giving an accurate ruling, and even a small thing such as "card" vs "a Pokémon" can make a major difference in how a card works. In the case of Energy Evolution, the card you are playing...
